Patient ergonomics is the application of human factors or related disciplines to study and improve patients' and other non-professionals' performance of effortful work activities in pursuit of health goals. We performed a mapping review of 212 full-text patient ergonomics publications in two conference proceedings, 2007-2017. The review revealed a robust and growing body of literature on patient ergonomics, particularly in the areas of aging and chronic disease, tools and technologies, and evaluations of patient-centered interventions on outcomes such as usability, user acceptance, and performance. Findings highlighted gaps deserving future research, including research with understudied populations such as children, informal caregivers, networks and collectives (groups), and marginalized populations; on topics such as health promotion and transitions of care; and using longitudinal and experimental study designs. The growth of patient-centeredness in general and of patient ergonomics in particular compel other more focused reviews, new primary research, and developing a roadmap for future patient ergonomics research.

患者人体工程学：以患者为中心的人为因素的10年制图审查。

患者人机工程学是人为因素或相关学科的应用，用于研究和改善患者和其他非专业人员在努力实现健康目标方面的辛勤工作。我们在2007-2017年的两次会议程序中对212篇全文的人体工程学出版物进行了映射审查。审查揭示了关于人体工程学的大量稳健且不断增长的文献，特别是在衰老和慢性疾病，工具和技术以及以患者为中心的干预措施对结果的可用性（如可用性，用户接受度和性能）方面的评估。调查结果突出了值得进行进一步研究的差距，包括对诸如儿童，非正式照料者，网络和集体（群体）以及边缘化人群等被研究不足的人群的研究；关于诸如促进健康和护理过渡的主题；并使用纵向和实验研究设计。一般而言，以患者为中心的增长，尤其是患者人体工程学的发展，迫使其他更集中的评论，新的主要研究以及为未来的人体工程学研究制定路线图。
